The process by which spermatids mature into spermatozoa is called spermiogenesis. During this phase, spermatids undergo significant morphological changes, including the development of a flagellum, condensation of the nucleus, and formation of the acrosome, which contains enzymes essential for fertilization. This transformation allows the spermatids to become motile spermatozoa, capable of swimming toward and fertilizing an ovum. Following spermiogenesis, the mature spermatozoa are released into the lumen of the seminiferous tubules, where they eventually enter the epididymis for further maturation and storage.
